Education Technology Unit
Home
Education Technology Unit was established in 1996. The main focus of the unit is to develop learning and teaching materials for use by teachers and students with the objective of improving science education in schools/colleges. The multimedia group, ETU develops and produces multimedia CD-ROM packages in various science subjects.
The end-users of these multimedia packages were identified as students in high schools and colleges.
ETU has developed and produced both CD-ROM's and books in English and other vernacular Indian languages for various departments/institutions.
The Multimedia CD-ROM titles on various subjects in science are available in English, Hindi and Kannada.
ETU has developed school and college-level chemistry and physics experiments kits.
ETU is involved in science popularization programs with a view to motivate teachers and students in science education.
ETU conducts these programs in association with different institutions across the country.

- The Chemistry of Materials Exposition has a display of Panels, Books and Models of simple molecules/complex structures.
- The Madan Mohan Malaviya Amphitheatre is located in the Hall of Science building.
ETU has organised various science popularization programs both for school students and teachers and also workshops for teachers. The most popular programs that ETU has been successfully conducting for many years now are :
All these programs are conducted at different places in the country. The unit has the distinction of Prof. C. N. R. Rao offering lectures at these programs. These programs are aimed at young students in different cities to promote and instill curiosity in science subjects. These programs have a large turnout of students and teachers as they have proved to be very popular both amongst teachers and students. ETU in association with different institutions across the country, has been conducting these programs where a large number of schools are encouraged to participate by sending students (of high school) along with their teachers.
Special programs designed to the needs of the students from Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs), Parikrma, School Chandan (Laxmeshwar), and 'Chetana'- an orientation program for the State SSLC toppers (girls) in collaboration with GOVT. of Karnataka are organized and conducted at the Hall of Science.

Projects
- The unit will continue to work in developing CD-ROMs focusing on
learning aspects.
These multimedia packages will essentially be for high school children and also for the common man initiated in science to give him/her a global view of the progress of science in service to society. - The unit is engaged in bringing out the Hindi version of all the four parts of 'learning Science' series as both CD-ROMs and books.
- One of the topics on which ETU has started work is Nanoscience & technology for school children. This will cover various components like technology, health and other aspects of Nanomaterials.
- ETU will be taking up the translation, development and production of the book `Understanding Chemistry' in Hindi and Kannada.
- The unit will be organizing a large number of science popularization programs for the school children and teachers with the main focus being at the rural level
The concept of welfare in the hospital setting evolved way back in the nineteenth century. The idea behind it was to deal with Psycho social component of the illness of persons seeking treatment in a hospital.
Over a period of time, the concept evolved into providing counseling and guidance services to providing assistance in terms of medical aid like arranging for medicines through hospital support services.
In Safdarjang Hospital & Vardhman Mahavir Medical College the Medical Social Welfare Department came into existence from the time the hospital started.
The Medical Social Welfare Department is currently located in Room No. 17 of B wing in the OPD Building of Safdarjang Hospital, New Delhi.
The functions of this department are as follows:
